DURABILITY OF OUR ENCLOSURES – LUCK AND HONEST WORK. “THE BEST PURCHASE I EVER MADE”

In October 2024, a hurricane swept through South Carolina, USA, destroying everything in its path. Entire buildings, parked cars, garbage bins, as well as homes, gardens, and their equipment. People were left without power at best, but many lost their homes entirely. Those who escaped with minor damage were considered lucky.

Read the authentic testimony of one of the residents from the affected area – James P., our customer – and his first impressions after the hurricane tore through his home, garden, and pool, including our enclosure.
A strong hurricane recently swept through our area. My neighborhood is currently one of the hardest-hit by catastrophic damage. The morning after the storm, we discovered that trees had been uprooted and scattered across the entire property, hitting almost everything. Of course, without power or lights, it was hard to tell what was hit and what was spared. I can tell you, we spent nearly 9 hours digging through the debris to find all our neighbors to make sure they were at least still alive.
“Before the sun set that Friday, I took a walk to assess the damage to the back half of the property. The first thing I noticed was, of course, the huge gaping hole in the tree line where we were surrounded by trees just the day before. That is no longer the case, and I expected the worst since those were all large trees over 75 feet tall.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that our entire pool enclosure appeared to be standing still, even though it was covered in branches and debris. It seemed that none of the fallen trunks had hit the enclosure. Upon closer inspection, I found that two large trees (with roots) had been torn from the ground and thrown onto the pool enclosure and a nearby part of the diving shop located just three feet from the end of the pool and enclosure.”
“The first thing that came to mind was that this was the best purchase I’ve ever made!”
Honestly, I can’t believe how well the enclosure held up during this storm. When the tornado swept through my backyard, in the middle of a Category 3 hurricane, the pool enclosure stood firm as if nothing had happened. I’ve never seen anything like it. The entire roof of my neighbor’s house was torn off, and most of my shingles were blown off the roof and onto the enclosure. But it showed no visible damage.
I wasn’t immediately able to open the enclosure completely to make sure the whole structure was still solid, but I saw no visible signs suggesting that anything was damaged or bent.
A small amount of debris and leaves got under the cover, I assume it blew through the rubber seal between the segments or the front. But when I say a small amount, I mean just enough to fill a single pool skimmer net – certainly not full.
The water remained clean and the temperature stayed steady throughout our ordeal. I will need to do some cleaning of the segments, but otherwise, it seems fine.
I’m a business owner and do my own pool maintenance. I also perform these services for several other pools in the area. I’ve been a strong advocate of the ALUKOV enclosure system and have given several reviews and demos of the system to my other clients. I take every opportunity to show them what I use for my pool and boast about the cost savings on chemicals since I had the enclosure installed. I’ve reduced my chemical costs by nearly 96% per month. I’ve already saved hundreds of dollars on chemicals and will save even more this year because I won’t need to winterize the pool in the fall/winter – it will stay safe under the enclosure.”
